Gingivectomy

Gingivectomy is a procedure that removes and reshapes gum tissues. This procedure is typically performed to treat periodontal disease or to improve the aesthetic appearance of the gum line. A gingivectomy removes excess gum tissue around the teeth, making teeth appear longer and improving the overall balance of the gum line.

Gingivectomy is performed in our office with our Solea dental laser with minimal bleeding, no sutures, and fast healing!

While gingivectomy is a safe and effective procedure, it may cause some discomfort and swelling for a few days after the procedure. Patients should follow their dentist’s post-operative instructions carefully to ensure proper healing. Overall, gingivectomy can improve the health of the gums and enhance the appearance of the smile. If you are experiencing gum disease or unhappy with the appearance of your gum line, consult with your dentist to see if gingivectomy may be a suitable treatment option.
